This site does so much for us. It provides a place to talk to like-minded conservative people from all over the world, plan activities and vent at this administration and all the damage they've done. As a near shut-in, I spend a lot of time here and enjoy talking with all kinds of people in many different situations and occupations. Everyone who has been here for any amount of time can tell stories of how this place affirms them, validates their beliefs, sharpens their writing skills and reinforces arguments they can use at the water cooler, the family reunion or the ball game when speaking to liberals and mushy moderates.

This site is also a counter to Democratic Underground (DU), the Huffington Post, Daily Kos, Media Matters, MoveOn and the legacy media. Just look at the Texas Air Guard scandal for a good example. Fox News, Drudge, Daily Caller and others are good, but are also sometimes unreliably conservative, as we've seen. That makes FR invaluable. If Big Bird is worth liberal backing, isn't the FR eagle worth our support?
